What is the share of each heir from the inheritance of the deceased who left behind a husband, a mother, three daughters, four full brothers, and three full sisters?
If a woman's heirs are only her mother, her husband, her daughters, and her brothers and sisters, then the estate is distributed as follows:
To the mother: One-sixth (based on Allah’s Almighty saying: "And for his parents, each of them one-sixth of what he left if he had a child"). To the husband: One-fourth (based on Allah’s Almighty saying: "But if they have a child, then for you is one-fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they [may have] made or debt"). To the daughters: Two-thirds (based on Allah’s Almighty saying: "But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two-thirds of what he left"). To the brothers and sisters: They are excluded due to nothing remaining for them after the sharers of fixed portions.
The issue is one of ‘Aul (increase in denominator), and the estate is divided into thirty-nine shares: for the mother, six shares; for the husband, nine shares; and for the daughters, twenty-four shares (eight for each).
